Hsiao Bi-khim (Hsiao, Vice President of Taiwan)

And it's not only in terms of spending the amounts, but it's about investing in the right areas.

I think another lesson from the Ukraine experience is the asymmetry in...

in that theater, and so we do need to invest in more smart technologies.

Drones and unmanned systems are widely used in that theater.

I watched part of your interview with Dino Mavroukas.

on saronic unmanned surface vessels.

We need to look at more robotics unmanned systems on all fronts.

We also need to be adopting artificial intelligence and integrating our sensors and data fusion.

We have a lot of work to do.

This is really a new era of

of self-defense.

And I think a third thing that we have learned from the Ukrainians is the need for much more decentralized command control and to support more small-unit autonomy and decision-making and to be much more nimble and flexible.

Our military has for decades been trained in a very traditional way, and we need to quickly

adapt to new requirements.

And so a lot of reforms are going on.

Our president has recently, actually the former president started this process, but we are carrying it through.

That is expanding our conscript training period.

Every young man in Taiwan has to serve a mandatory one year

military training requirement.

And we need to make sure that that is not just one year from every young Taiwanese man's youth, but one meaningful year, quality training, adequate training.
